Manchester United player ratings as four ‘awful’ 4/10s pile more pressure on Amorim with 3-1 Brentford defeat
Manchester United suffered yet another crushing setback as they fell 3–1 to Brentford, a result that piles even more pressure on manager Rúben Amorim. The reaction after the game was brutal, with four established players receiving woeful 4-out-of-10 ratings, highlighting just how far below expectations the team performed.
United’s defence was shaky and unorganised, constantly exposed by Brentford’s sharp movement, while the midfield offered little control or composure to steady the side. In attack, the usual sparks were missing, with the forwards failing to trouble their opponents or show any real urgency. The lack of intensity allowed Brentford to dominate large spells of the match, leaving supporters at Old Trafford visibly frustrated and analysts openly questioning whether Amorim’s tactical ideas are working with this squad.
These damning individual scores only reinforce a broader sense of fragility within the team. With the season now at a pivotal point, Amorim finds himself under serious pressure to prove he can unite his players, fix glaring issues, and restore belief. Otherwise, both Manchester United’s title challenge and their Champions League ambitions could slip away faster than anyone imagined.
